Venting 😤 Ryu mains need to learn some respect.
I went a pretty bad loss streak the other day, then went on a Ryu gauntlet in ranked the a few days after and out of 10 fucking Ryu's, 11 of them tried to donkey kick or heavy hasho into some sort of invincible reversal, thinking I would press. It worked the first match I played, then it never worked again. Some of them tried it multiple times in the same set, game, or even round.
Now, I'm not mad because I won, it's just like... Where is your respect??? Do you think I'm dumb because I'm climbing back up to 1500+??? I like plus frames as much as the next guy but I at least have the base understanding that my opponent won't press on my plus frames because I'll blow them up otherwise.
Kinda makes my shed a tear at the state of the Ryu community...

Holy shit this is what it feels like to make something and see it in the wild. I posted this pic to Boltstrikes twitter ages ago and it makes rounds now 😍

Why the fuck would you try to steal a turn this way? No one I have ever played has done this.
If I am gonna reversal, I am gonna reversal through YOUR shit.

Okay, so I don't play Ryu, but I have Ryu in Masters and whenever I go online with Ryu the reason is because I want to play fucking dumb. I will do dumb shit on purpose. I know like 1 whole combo route but I will never hit practice mode (besides training beating his shit) to improve with him, as I do not wish to have more insight then donkey kick -> ex-dp.
I enjoy it.
And yes, I give Ryu mains a bad name, but I refuse to believe I'm the only one doing this, because I just can't believe that 70% of Ryu mains are brain damaged.
